""State of the Union Addresses"" is a collection of speeches given by Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States, to Congress between 1829 and 1837. These speeches provide insight into the political and social issues of the time, including the Indian Removal Act, the Nullification Crisis, and the Bank War. Jackson's speeches also discuss his vision for the future of the country, including his plans for economic growth and expansion. This book offers a valuable historical perspective on the early years of the United States and the leadership of one of its most influential presidents.You are assembled at a period of profound interest to the American patriot. The unexampled growth and prosperity of our country having given us a rank in the scale of nations which removes all apprehension of danger to our integrity and independence from external foes, the career of freedom is before us, with an earnest from the past that if true to ourselves there can be no formidable obstacle in the future to its peaceful and uninterrupted pursuit. Yet, in proportion to the disappearance of those apprehensions which attended our weakness, as once contrasted with the power of some of the States of the Old World, should we now be solicitous as to those which belong to the conviction that it is to our own conduct we must look for the preservation of those causes on which depend the excellence and the duration of our happy system of government.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
